E.g., government pushing a sport team to change its name, a person losing his job for contributing to a cause.

Meh, patent office, will be appealed in court, this has happened to the team before.

The person who lost his job did so because the board of the corporation decided not to keep him. Free market at work.

I'm talking about national shifts, not minor incidents or choices by private employers.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

Minor incidents are symptoms of national shifts. Don't forget that the corporation was forced to do so.
On the other hand you might be right. Maybe that's only the way the media is trying to portray the nation. Isn't that true that younger people are a lot more liberal? But that's always been true, I was a liberal once upon a time.

Don't forget that the corporation was forced to do so.

By other corporations.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

Doesn't change anything. In any case, the other corporations couldn't do that without political support.

[mylaptopisevil.livejournal.com]

You mean the freedom to protest?

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Don't forget that the corporation was forced to do so.

What type of force was it?

[deborahkla.livejournal.com]

Obviously your mind was warped somewhere along the way. I'm still liberal and I've been voting since 1976.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

Actually, you never grew up.

[deborahkla.livejournal.com]

At age 56, I'm flattered.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

You are dishing it out, so no complaining about taking it.

Indigenous activists (http://www.democracynow.org/2014/6/19/meet_the_navajo_activist_who_got) like Amanda Blackhorse appealed to the government to pressure for the change. A bit different than government waking up one day and deciding to hassle the team.

There is something like 100k signatures on white house website petitioning for marine held in Mexico. For some very strange reason government didn't move a finger to help him. Maybe, just maybe, government picks and chooses its battles. Are you going to tell me that Reid had nothing better to do then follow up the appeal of one single woman? He didn't want to do it, but she forced him to do it, right.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

I linked the water, entirely up to you if you wish to drink. I will not attempt to tell you anything about Reid, other than it wasn't his original idea.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

I prefer vodka, straight.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

Everyone has a type! ;-)

[angelcerv25.livejournal.com]

Right, like the 1,500 new pieces of anti-women's healthcare legislation? The attack and persecution of medical marijuana patients? Yeah, real left-wing.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

Marijuana laws are relaxed like never before. What anti-women legislation you are talking about?

[enders-shadow.livejournal.com]

Anti abortion laws are anti-women.

Or have you not heard of the GOP trend to fight against Roe v Wade every single chance they get?

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

Actually, anti-abortion laws are pro women, because abortion is very damaging to a woman physically and psychologically.

[enders-shadow.livejournal.com]

That's incorrect.
I am personally friends with women who have had an abortion, they are fine, physically and psychologically.

Next you'll tell me that being gay is a choice.

You're our own little Jim Cramer. Anything you say, odds are, the opposite is the case.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Abortion may be damaging, but pregnancy is far more damaging.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

Marijuana laws being fought could also be libertarian (it isn't) as much as left wing.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

"Could" and "also".

[angelcerv25.livejournal.com]

States across the country have enacted hundreds of anti-choice legislation since cons won the primaries in 2010. Their biggest obsessions are gays and abortion, and they make it very clear with their twisted sense of priorities. (Read: NO to every jobs bill).
